Category: Installation Group: 4.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mengjuei Hsieh (mjhsieh) Assigned to: Bernard Li (bernardli) Summary: (FC2) ntpd pemission warning on client nodes Initial Comment: OS: fedora-release-2-4 OSCAR Version: 4 (trunk) NTP Version: ntp-4.2.0-7 A lot of ntpd warning logs were found on FC2 client nodes. For example, the warnings are like this: Dec 11 15:14:07 node1 ntpd[3521]: can't open /etc/ntp/drift.TEMP: Permission denied Dec 11 16:14:10 node1 ntpd[3521]: can't open /etc/ntp/drift.TEMP: Permission denied This only happens when the owner of /etc/ntp is not 'ntp', the ntpds seem to be still working. However these messages would overwhelm the log file on the master node. Mugster reported that it was okay on ntp-4.1.2-0.rc1.2 (FC2), therefore I suspect that the /etc/ntp uid:gid somehow got changed after a certain system update (yum update). A quick fix to avoid these warning messages would be: 1. # cexec "chown ntp:ntp /etc/ntp" 2. # chown ntp:ntp /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/etc/ ntp Any patch on OSCAR scripts/post_rpm_install is welcomed. ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2005-01-03 21:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=879102 Initially thought that ntp version < 4.2 uses /etc/ntp/drift and version >= 4.2 uses /var/lib/ntp/drift but it seems that it is dependent on distro implementation. On RH9, ntp version = 4.1.2-0.rc1.2, uses /etc/ntp/drift On RH3AS, ntp version = 4.1.2-4.EL3.1, uses /var/lib/ntp/drift On FC2, ntp version = 4.2.0.a.20040617-4, uses /var/lib/ntp/drift Perhaps the best solution is to modify driftfile location on a case-by-case basis. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2004-12-13 14:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=879102 With FC2, the drift file should be at /var/lib/ntp (which is correctly owned by ntp user). The provided ntp.conf by OSCAR is wrong. The ntpconfig package needs to be updated to reflect this (possibly a problem with RHEL too?)
